Features of Commercial Zero Turn Mowers in NZ

Commercial 82v no turn mowers are high-end lawn cutting machines used to productively clear large areas of lawns, sports grounds and parklands. In terms of commercial use, they are some of the most effective and efficient products on the market. As well as their ability to cover large areas quickly, they also have an array of safety measures that makes them perfect for people in the commercial landscaping industry. In this article, Cama Products discusses some of the top safety features of commercial zero turn mowers including their no turn function and roll over protection, while also exploring some of the specific features of electric mowers such as lower noise levels and lower emissions.

 

Zero-Turn Functionality

Zero turn mowers are unique because they can essentially turn on a dime, with a zero degree turning radius. With this extra manoeuvrability, you can avoid obstacles easier, and late turns become far less dangerous. Imagine you are cruising along on your normal ride-on mower or electric ride-on mower and all of a sudden have to dodge a large rock, an animal or a hidden tree stump. In this case, you would likely tip over, resulting in damage to the machine and injury to you. Zero turn mowers follow lawn mower safety regulations by allowing you to make these turns without running the risk of tipping.

 

Roll-Over Protection

Zero-turn mowers have further roll-over protection systems (ROPS) in place to prevent you from tipping the machine. They able to turn on a dime, while also having extra protection on the side of the mower to stop it from rolling. Furthermore, zero-turn mowers are considerably lower to the ground than general ride-on mowers. This results in a low centre of gravity that helps the mower stay upright, even when excessive pressure is put on the steering column and the mowers turning circle.

 

Electric Vehicle Safety Measures

Zero-turn electric mowers have become increasingly popular with commercial landscaping workers. Not only do they have all the safety features of fuel-powered mowers, but they are also safer to operate in busy or sensitive environments. Their low emissions and low noise levels allow workers to use them in parks and public areas without disturbing the local fauna. You can also get away with using them closer to the public because of how quiet and efficient they are.

 

Lawn Mower Safety Regulations

Lawn mower safety regulations are relatively simple and can be obtained by simply reading the manual that comes with the machine. For quality lawn mower safety, operators should follow some simple guidelines such as:

  • Wearing safety equipment such as protective eyewear.
  • Always staying away from moving blades. If you need to clear something from the blades or the area around them, ensure they have completely stopped before doing so.
  • Keep your mower clean.
  • Store your machine in a safe and protected area away from children.
  • Use caution when mowing on slopes and hills.
  • Inspect your mower regularly for damage and wear and tear.
